Supermarine SpitfireMkIa; 610 squadron RAF Biggin Hill 1940

major parts cleaned and ready for initial assembly 

quite a nice details for 1/72 kit 

 

 

 

spinner glued together (everything will be the same color) 

 

inside of the fuselage painted 

cockpit ready for installation to the fuselage 

one or two places which required small amount of filler and light sand and primer was next 

Mr. Sufracer 1200 thinned 50/50 with levelling thinner - best result every time in my opinion 

 

 

small bits and bobs ready for paint and weathering 

top and bottom surfaces masked and sprayed with MRP colors (top camo masked with MR. Hyde Masking Putty) 

after removing the masking and the putty the final camo at least 

 

 

 

 

small parts sprayed and ready for installation 

2 -3 coats of gloss varnish to get the surface nice and shiny and it's time for decals 

decals were quite thick but easy to work with. 

two or three application of Microscale soft worked almost everytime, only two or three places needed more persuasion with X20A 

 

Now the spit will get one or two thin coats of matt varnish and weathering will be next 

A little bit of weathering on the bottom surfaces 

and FINISH! 🙂 

 

 

 

 

 

 

finally together with her little friend 

Really nice kit. Highly recommended!
